My nomination is the 1967 Cadillac Eldorado. Close second is the Cord L-29.

Well you took two of the best choices but a 1968 Rivera is pretty excellent as well.

EDIT: I am stupid and this is RWD

My great-grandma had one of those FWD Eldorados. Tire killer apparently.

But I think the Impala is a very pretty car.

You were so close. Twice.

There are others, I just can't think of them right now.

The Toronado's look great, but the Eldo's have much more presence.

Well now I feel like a dumb ass. I had been told it was FWD. I guess the Toronado is up there with the Cord and Caddy

I was about to say Cord 810.

But I think the Lancia wins.

Touche.

Nope I had been told the Rivera was FWD but I had been told wrong.

They were the same platform, but the Rivera's stayed RWD through '79.

True and Eldo's came with 500+ cubic inch engines.

Nah, the Toronado is a much cleaner design having seen both of them in the flesh. I think it looks fantastic and is a notch above the Eldorado (not that the Eldorado is bad by any means though).

Citroen Traction Avant (1934)

Citroen DS Series 3 (1967)

Lancia Fulvia Coupe (1965)

Peugeot 406 Coupe (1996)

Peugeot 306 GTi-6 (1996)

Peugeot 205 GTi (1984)

And that is but a sampling. I could never pick just one, though my affections are leaning toward the Fulvia for the moment.

I nominate the Cord 810/812.

It does look pretty awesome.

Is Europe allowed to play, or is that cheating?

This could go on a while...

Second reply: Actually I think I believe the Toronado looks better because the Cadillac resembles other Cadillacs too much, whereas the original Toronado looks like almost nothing that came before or after it.

For me it's really a toss up between the Eldorado and Toronado. I like them both.

Or a Cord. I love that car.

If there's one thing America knows how to do, it's making a large car look good enough that you don't mind it being FWD.

Close, but maybe it's Zagato counterpart is even better:
